WW YW Milk Connealy Conviction, the bull we believe in as one of the best Connealy Impression sons. We have a few calves on the ground at presstime. They calve easy with excellent phenotype and he is out of an outstanding cow. The blue tag calves are his. WW YW Milk Connealy Freightliner Junior named after his sire. A massive deepsided big deep quartered bull. Added power from the Net Worth influence on his dam s side. They will press the scale down at weaning and make cows! His calves have purple tags. WW YW Milk SAV 9969 Rito a massive, big hip bull. The rancher s kind sired by the powerhouse Rito 9969 and out of the tremendous Elba 1094 cow at Schaffs. His calves are at Tumbling T for calving. WW YW Milk IGENITY DNA Interpretation For those selling finished cattle on the grid, the carcass information provided is of value in your selections. The and (Marbling) figures are the result of ultrasounding by Sandhills Ultrasound. (For rough interpretation, a 4 will grade choice). The higher the number the more marbling. Through DNA testing, markers have been identified for carcass traits. Those reported are based on Igenity s tissue DNA sample reading. More accuracy and markers will be needed before ultrasounding can be eliminated. The most identifiable and worked with DNA marker is tenderness. The possible scores for tenderness range from 1 to 10 with 10 being the most tender. Cargill is very aggressive in acquiring tender documented finished cattle. The yield grade and quality grade balancing is somewhat more objective. One must keep in mind the bull s traits as well as his sisters traits that are out on the range, be it grass, cornstalks, and/or hay. The following is Graff s interpretation based on combination of Igenity s numerous scores. Yield Grade Characteristics unacceptable Poor fleshing ability YG 1 acceptable YG 2 to YG 3.4 preferred YG 2 unacceptable YG is higher than 3.5 Quality Grade Characteristics premium prime preferred top 2/3 of choice, CAB eligible acceptable lower 1/2 of choice unacceptable select

Transportation systems, packing plants, and factories have been built, that employ over fifty percent of our labor in converting her by-products into the necessities of life. If, at one noon-day meal, in every home in our nation the by-products of the cow, such as milk, butter, cheese, meat, and shoes, were taken away, we would be left hungry, barefooted, and jobless, and result in the worst human catastrophe of all ages. We owe a great tribute to the cow. -Anonymous (Shared by Lou Johnson)
